Alexander Straulino, 1973, Germany, better known just as Straulino, is a beauty photographer who lives and works in Berlin. In his images the models become sculptures with rich colours. He is open to experimentation and often closes in on body parts as the eyes or the lips. He adds a whiff of eroticism in his photographs. The women in Straulino's images become larger than life and have an outer-worldly quality to them. In 2006 he released the book Playtime and in 2011 his book Straulino N°2 came out. His images have been published in numerous magazines as Another Magazine, Russian and German Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. Amongst his clients are Douglas, Wella and Schweppes. The following images come from the portfolio's Beauty Three, Beauty Two and Beauty One.

Welcome to 500 photographers

The target of this website is embedded in its name; to post active image-makers until we reach 500 photographers. The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be worth looking at and have a certain level of quality. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers.

500 photographers is done by Pieter Wisse, a photographer himself based in Rotterdam, NL. For three years (2009-2012) he was the founder and owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art, a gallery and bookstore based in his hometown that also released Four Eyes Photography Magazine.

Once this website reaches photographer #500 it will be finished and done. It will then only be here with the function of being an archive of amazing photographers of the 21st century.

Support 500 Photographers

500 Photographers needs your help. 500 Photographers has become close to a fulltime job and is truly a pleasure to make. However, it does not generate any income and the financial situation has become a worry. Your donation and support would be of great help for this project.
You can support the project by buying my book or just by donating an amount to your choice. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for reading this statement.
